The flavors of fall are starting to pop up everywhere — you can already get your pumpkin spice latte, cookies and pretzel bites — but in a move that proves that nothing is sacred, Villa Italian Kitchen is offering pumpkin spice pizza beginning Sept. 22.

It starts with pumpkin pie filling, full of nutmeg, clove and cinnamon, which is spread across homemade dough and topped with 100 percent whole milk mozzarella cheese. When the pizza comes out of the oven, it is graced with extra dollops of pumpkin pie filling.

“There’s no denying that everyone loves pizza, so combining our hit Neapolitan cheese slice with the delicious fall flavors of pumpkin spice just made sense,” Villa Italian Kitchen director of communications and digital marketing strategy Mimi Wunderlich said in a press release. “We are confident that this seasonal twist on our beloved cheese pizza will be a hit with all of our pumpkin spice loving guests this fall.”

The fall pizza will be sold by the slice (cost about $4) and will be available while supplies last. For more information, go to www.villaitaliankitchen.com. There are multiple Southern California locations.
